UNIX != open source.

In fact, most flavours have historically been commercial and proprietary.

It’s built on top of BSD, which is opensource.

You responded to “macOS is UNIX” with “it’s not open source”. I’m just illustrating how these 2 things are not correlated.

In any case, macOS is based on OpenBSD. Even the original BSD, which OpenBSD is based on, was not initially open source.

Everything you said was a straw man.

I can’t vouch for what it’s based on but I’ve always read the first release of macOS (then Mac OS X) was based on FreeBSD 4.2, not OpenBSD.
